The HP Photosmart R707 offered fast start up, fast zoom and fast save times to the internal memory. The two complaints we have are firstly the save time to the SD card as it wasn’t very fast. Take three or four shots in succession and you’ll have a camera that is out of action for some time as the buffer works away to clear itself. Secondly, the flash can occasionally overcompensate. However, if you aren’t planning lots of action shots or those featuring you and your friends in dimly lit environments (like a nightclub and so on) then this offers plenty to the novice digital photographer looking to learn their first digital camera rather than just being confused all the time.
